The other side of the sea.
There was also an island here.
Whether it was the size of the island, the sand and rocks on it, or even the species of the trees, it was no different from the small island where Gu Qing Shan and the others were.
There were no living creatures inhabiting such a barren island.
Seabirds only occasionally passed by here.
At this moment, the other three outsiders were standing on the beach of the island.
The Soul Shrieker with both male and female faces.
The God of Life was covered in black tentacles.
There was also the Flaming Corpse wrapped in chains — Flaming Walker.
They all stared at the wooden boat in front of them.
「 According to [Chaos], this' Crossing Fish 'can only seat two people 」 the God of Life replied.
The Soul Shrieker observed it for a while, then turned to the Raging Flame Traveler.
"Is there no other way?"
It asked its two attendants.
Without saying a word, the God of Life's several hundred tentacles turned into blurred images and flew towards the center of the island.
One by one, the trees were chopped down and quickly assembled into a raft.
"Come."
The God of Life said softly.
The wooden raft flew over and landed on the surface of the sea.
Pa!
A torrent of water surged up from the sea, directly smashing the raft apart.
— Looks like this won't do.
The Flame Traveler pondered: 「 Since this ship can only accommodate two living beings, I think I have an idea 」
"What is it?"
The Flame Walker replied, "I'm a Corpse of Flame, so I can enter a state of death."
「『That makes sense, then you wouldn't be considered a living being 」』 the Soul Shrieker replied with its male voice.
The Flame Walker walked up and sat inside the ship.
Suddenly, the flames on its body extinguished, and it fell straight into the wooden boat.
「『Alright, let's go 」』 the Soul Shrieker said.
She and the God of Life lightly leapt onto the ship.
The wooden boat did not move.
A few lines of words appeared on the deck.
"This ship only allows two living beings to board. Corpses are not allowed to board this ship."
"Also, you haven't repaired this ship."
"Only when these conditions are met will the Crossing Fish move."
Repairing the boat was only a small matter, so the Soul Shrieker didn't care about it at all. It randomly picked a few pieces of wood, cut them from afar, and replaced the broken planks of the boat.
Those lines of words immediately disappeared, leaving only the first line.
"This ship only allows two living beings to board. Corpses are not allowed to board this ship."
The ship remained motionless.
The Soul Shrieker muttered: 『「 So the so-called 'only for two living beings' means that only two living beings can ride this ship, no other entities are allowed to board it』」
「 I have a few methods to control the Water Element, how about I push the boat instead? 」 saying so, the God of Life was about to act.
"No!"
The Soul Shrieker hurriedly stopped him and spoke in a low voice:
"The seawater is filled with a strange power. We must not touch it."
The God of Life replied: 『Think again, there might be another way』
The three deities of [Chaos] returned to the island.
The Raging Flame Traveler tried to fly, but not long after it flew out of the range of the island, it was fiercely blasted back by an invisible force, and it even suffered minor injuries.
The God of Life tried to turn into a Card — — she had studied Lady Black Sea's Card before, so she had some understanding and abilities regarding this.
However, it was still not enough.
The ship didn't move at all. Another sentence was displayed on the deck: "This ship only allows two creatures to board. You are not allowed to board this ship after transforming."
Time passed quietly.
There were ten minutes left.
— — In ten minutes, an apocalypse would descend upon the island.
The Soul Shrieker slowly became irritated.
Its female voice began to speak:
『「 It seems only one of you can board this ship with me』」
『「 Now, prove to me which one of you is stronger』」
『「 I will have the stronger servant come with me』」
The God of Life and the Raging Flame Traveler exchanged glances.
When [Chaos] summoned them, they had both heard the Soul Shrieker's vow.
『… I need two servants, I am willing to grant them the same qualifications to compete for the Deific Authority …』
My opponents are only three mortals.
Or rather, one of them is quite powerful, but the other two are only so-so.
This is an Apotheotic Combat with a high chance of winning.
If something happens to the Soul Shrieker at the very last moment …
The True Deity ring of [Chaos].
The scepter of the [Chaos] Dragon King.
The authority of a True Deity.
— — I have a chance to obtain all three of these items at once!
If I stay on this island, I won't be able to obtain anything and would instead face the threat of the Apocalypse.
The God of Life suddenly spoke: 『「 Stand down, Raging Flame Traveler. You might be strong, but you are far from being my match』」
The Raging Flame Traveler fiercely replied: 『「 Cut the nonsense. Ever since the Age of Immemorial, I've been almost invincible, who the hell do you think you are!?』」
The God of Life froze.
She stared straight at the other party and spoke in a low voice: 『「 Invincible? A piece of trash that not even the Inner Plane dares to provoke dares to claim to be invincible?』」
The two Deities abruptly disappeared.
Boom!
They crashed into each other.
An invisible shockwave rose to the sky, blowing away all the clouds in the sky.
Under the impact of the Raging Flame Traveler and the God of Life, the entire island collapsed and slowly sank into the ocean.
The Soul Shrieker had no choice but to jump onto the Crossing Fish.
『「 No need to fight, I know the difference in strength between the two of you』」 it loudly declared.
The Raging Flame Traveler and the God of Life both appeared.
They barely managed to stand on top of a few rocks that hadn't completely sunk yet, both looking at the Soul Shrieker.
『「 God of Life, your strength is undeniable, but you have a single problem』」
The Soul Shrieker stood on the ship and spoke with a condescending tone.
『「 You are too afraid of death』」
『「 Even during a crucial moment like the Apotheotic Combat, as soon as you sense that something is amiss and your life is in danger, the first thing you would do would be to survive, not to kill your enemy』」
『「 That is why you should stay』」
The God of Life froze.
The Raging Flame Traveler looked up to the sky and laughed, then lightly leapt onto the ship.
It turned around, looked at the God of Life with a mocking gaze, and spoke: 『「 Farewell, cowardly Deity. I heard that a True Deity managed to escape before the Inner Plane was destroyed, hiding in a secret location within the void of space, eating his own descendants to survive for countless years』」
『「 — — -that spineless piece of trash, is that you?
Hearing that, the God of Life's presence abruptly fluctuated.
She was thoroughly enraged and screamed in a frenzy:
『「 Damn it! You're nothing but a corpse, how dare you speak to me like that!』」
Thousands of black tentacles reached out from her back, ready to attack the Raging Flame Traveler without any regard for the consequences.
『「 Stop!』」 the Soul Shrieker shouted.
The God of Life was surprised and turned to the Soul Shrieker.
『「 This corpse just insulted me』」 she pointed at the Raging Flame Traveler and said.
The Soul Shrieker impatiently replied: 『「 I don't care what kind of problem you have with him, he is now my servant, and he will follow me to face the next trial』」
『「 Whether you attack him or destroy this ship during your battle, I want you dead』」
Hearing that, the God of Life couldn't help but take a step back.
Indeed, the Soul Shrieker currently needed the Raging Flame Traveler's help.
They were both on the same ship.
Without a doubt, as long as I dare to attack, the Soul Shrieker and the Raging Flame Traveler would immediately act together to kill me.
The God of Life's presence rose a few times, but slowly calmed down.
She didn't dare to attack again.
Compared to venting her anger, her own life was naturally more important.
— — -the Raging Flame Traveler and I were originally about the same level, only a bit stronger.
The Soul Shrieker's strength was growing every day.
The Era of [Chaos] was constantly increasing its strength.
If these two entities worked together, I would only be able to die.
The God of Life stood still without moving.
She watched as the small ship slowly sped up and left the island's range, but still didn't dare to attack.
The Soul Shrieker turned around to look at the God of Life one last time and said: 『「 You shall remain here, as long as you can endure the descent of the Apocalypse, you will be transported back by [Chaos]』」
『— — -after all, you're the best at survival』
The Raging Flame Traveler followed up: 『「 Indeed, this arrangement suits you perfectly』」
The small ship slowly went further away.
It wasn't until the small ship had completely disappeared that the God of Life loudly roared:
『「 Bastard, Soul Shrieker, you will definitely fail!
『「 Without me, [Chaos] will surely abandon you, the Raging Flame Traveler will take everything from you!』」
『「 From now on, I will no longer listen to your orders』」
『「 I, am loyal only to [Chaos]!』」
After cursing for a bit, the God of Life abruptly stopped.
Her expression was one of fear.
It was time.
In the sky, something was slowly approaching.
— — an endless sense of death was spreading.
An Apocalypse was about to descend!
